Thanks to fresh hope that US interest rates will be cut, the rand has risen to its highest levels in 2024. Thursday, just before noon, saw the currency trade at R18.20/$, which is about its highest point vs the US dollar this year. Around R18.30/$, the rand had begun trading in the early morning hours.Andre Cilliers | Director and Currency Strategist at TreasuryONE|
